Bulletin Summary
Warranty Policy Bulletin (POL08-04): Toyota received isolated reports regarding a small number of 2001 through 2004 model year Tacoma vehicles operated in severe cold climate areas with high road salt use. They were reported to be exhibiting excessive rust causing perforation of the frame. Toyota investigated these reports and determined that the frames for this small number of vehicles may not have adequate corrosion-resistant protection for use in this environment. This combined with prolonged exposure to road salts and other environmental factors may contribute to the development of excessive rust in the frames of some vehicles.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
